"Quid pro quo" has completely different meanings in English and French, which I've always found interesting given it's a Latin phrase. Literally, it means "something for something", and Latin speakers used it to mean "substitute" -- using one thing in place of another.
In English, it has come to refer to an exchange of favors with expectation of reciprocity, with connotations of corruption. In French, it's a situational misunderstanding: mistaking a thing for another.
Quid pro quo et quiproquo sont paronymes mais non équivalentes.

In Italian it means "this for that"
It is very meta that in the French sense there could be a quid pro quo over what is meant by quid pro quo.
In Italy it's like in France. And in the first situation, one would probably use "do ut des".
